The 'Google-sent' claim is particularly concerning; a successful compromise of a major platform's outbound messaging infrastructure, or highly convincing spoofing that bypasses common email authentication mechanisms like DMARC, points to a significant attack vector.

i got one of these emails but two things saved me. First, I had worked for multiple FIs in the past and thus i never click links in emails, ever. If i get an email for a site, i browse to that site and login there. Second, I stopped using Facebook years ago due to it being a giant ad server and misinformation network.
This is all to say that social engineering is still the most effective way to “hack” someone. And people, even smart people, fall for it way too fucking much.

same trick works with google groups. hidden in the headers you'll find the spoof emailer, but the messages all pass authentication. it's really annoying and no easy fix that I'm aware of.
